Yolo County election update: Pritchard concedes in 3rd District, hotel tax leading

Woodland City Councilmember Mayra Vega widened her lead Friday over supervisor’s deputy Dotty Pritchard in the race for the Yolo County Board of Supervisors’ 3rd District seat, a day after Pritchard conceded the election. Vega led by 1,093 votes in the latest unofficial returns released Friday afternoon by the Yolo County Office of Elections, receiving 55.4% of the vote compared with Pritchard’s 44.6%. Her lead grew by 214 votes since election night , when she was ahead by 879 votes. On Thursday, Pritchard conceded the race to replace outgoing Supervisor Mary Vixie Sandy in a social media post. “Things didn’t work out the way we wanted,” Pritchard wrote. “But I congratulate Ms. Vega on her win. Let’s get behind her for the betterment of Yolo County.” Vega’s lead grew slightly with Friday’s updated results. With 46.1% of votes counted, Vega received 55.4% of votes and Pritchard won 44.6%. In June, Pritchard finished first in a three-candidate primary, receiving 40% of the vote to Vega’s 32%. Xotchl Rodriguez, who did not qualify for the November ballot, received 28%. Early precinct-level returns suggested Vega drew stronger support in more densely populated parts of the district, including downtown Woodland and the Bryte and

Napa County Eyes Winery Rule Changes as Industry Downturn Deepens

Napa County is weighing changes that could let wineries welcome walk-in visitors and expand production limits for small operations, after the Board of Supervisors discussed potential amendments aimed at easing pressure on an industry battered by a prolonged downturn. The changes are modest compared to what wine-industry groups say they actually need, and they still require approval from the Board of Supervisors before taking effect.

California's biggest water project in 50 years gets green light. Here's what to know

California regulators have cleared the way for construction of Sites Reservoir, a major new water storage project in Colusa County. The decision marks the state’s largest reservoir undertaking in more than five decades and caps years of debate over cost, environmental harm and tribal objections. Here are key takeaways: The State Water Resources Board on Wednesday, Nov. 4, approved a water rights permit for Sites Reservoir , a 13-mile-long, four-mile-wide and 260-foot-deep project near Maxwell that will hold up to 1.5 million acre feet of water at an estimated cost of more than $6 billion. A draft approval issued in March drew sharp criticism from environmental advocates, with Harrison Beck of the Center for Biological Diversity warning the decision did not address serious threats to the Sacramento River ecosystem and imperiled fish populations. Federal officials in January signed off on an environmental review that could cover up to a quarter of construction costs, with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum saying the Trump administration backed the project to expand water reliability for communities and agriculture. Gov. Gavin Newsom fast-tracked the project through 2023 legislation that expedites legal challenges under the California Environmental Quality Act, pitching Sites as a critical piece of the

Sacramento restaurant closed over rodent droppings. What else did inspectors find?

Sacramento County Health Inspectors gave a red placard to a Japanese fusion restaurant after finding about 20 rodent droppings throughout the facility. Additionally, 12 restaurants were cited for unattended raw chicken, gunk found on a can opener and a missing food safety certificate. What do these inspections mean? While a yellow placard signals two or more major violations, these are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection, according to the Sacramento County Retail Food Inspection Guide . A red placard, however, signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends an establishment’s health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination . In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant passed inspection. The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee. Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said. These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, Oct. 29, through Wednesday, Nov. 4. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com .

Downtown Sacramento restaurant abruptly shuts, workers file suit alleging wage theft

Echo & Rig, the steakhouse and butcher shop in Downtown Commons inside Sacramento’s Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, appears to have abruptly closed, and an employee has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and others who the suit alleges have not been paid. The lawsuit was filed Nov. 2 in Sacramento Superior Court by Gavrilov & Brooks on behalf of Micah Bramwell and other employees at the restaurant, which is at 500 J St. Suite 150. The suit accuses the restaurant and its owner of failure to pay timely wages, failure to pay all wages upon separation, noncompliant wage statements, rest break violations, failure to reimburse necessary business expenses and unfair business practices. The plaintiff is seeking to recover the underpaid damages, penalties, interest, attorney’s fees and costs. TikTok user Erika posted a video on Thursday showing text from an email from the management and images of the empty restaurant. “Unfortunately today we received (an) email, that they decided to (close) their doors forever at the Sacramento location ... and none of the staff including myself got paid!
